Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old HouseYouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse
Steps for How to Install a Basement Bathroom:
1. Lay out the 2x4 bottom wall plates to establish the perimeter of the bathroom walls.
2. Measure off the wall plates to locate the center of the shower drain and toilet flange.
3. Dig a trench extending from the existing drainpipe over to the new locations of the shower drain and toilet flange.
4. Use a right-angle grinder fitted with a diamond-impregnated cutting wheel to cut through the old cast-iron drainpipe.
5. Attach a flexible no-hub mechanical coupling onto the end of the just-cut drainpipe. Tighten hose clamp onto the cast-iron pipe with a torque wrench.
6. Cut and glue together 3-inch-diameter PVC pipes and fittings to form the drainpipe assembly that connects the old cast-iron pipe to the new shower and toilet drain.
7. Slip the end of the PVC drainpipe assembly into the mechanical coupling attached to the old cast-iron pipe. Tighten the hose clamp to secure the PVC pipe.
8. Next, run 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe from the drainpipe assembly over to the shower and vanity sink.
9. Install traps for each fixture, and be sure the pipes slope 1/8 inch per foot to drain properly.
10. Drive a 1/2-inch-diameter steel-reinforcing bar down into the soil beside each trap. Then, use duct tape to secure the bars to the traps.
11. Have the rough piping inspected before pouring the concrete floor.
12. Cover the open end of the toilet pipe with a foam cap. Wrap plastic around the shower-drain pipe.
13. Have the concrete contractor pour a new floor around the piping.

Channel drain around the pool serves to collect rain water and protect your home. When this small channel drain goes bad, it can sometimes be cleaned, but most of the time the problem is the DISCHARGE of the drain is bad or missing.
This is the most common problem in southern homes. From Florida to Texas, even up into the southern states.
Problems like pool liner bubbles or pulls away from wall, cracked concrete, or the most common problem is water finds its way into the back wall of the house and does damage to hardwood floors, causing them to warp or buckle, baseboard get wet, wet sheet rock, and wet walls, and in some cases, so much pressure builds under the floor it causes the floor itself to buckle.
The solution is proper discharge of the channel drain, whether it be gravity or by sump pump.

French drain

A French drain or weeping tile (also blind drain,rubble drain,rock drain,drain tile, perimeter drain, land drain, French ditch, sub-surface drain, sub-soil drain or agricultural drain) is a trench filled with gravel or rock or containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area. A French drain can have perforated hollow pipes along the bottom (see images) to quickly vent water that seeps down through the upper gravel or rock.

French drains are primarily used to prevent ground and surface water from penetrating or damaging building foundations. Alternatively, French drains may be used to distribute water, such as a septic drain field at the outlet of a typical septic tank sewage treatment system. French drains are also used behind retaining walls to relieve ground water pressure.

History and construction

The earliest forms of French drains were simple ditches, pitched from a high area to a lower one and filled with gravel. These may have been invented in France but were described and popularised by Henry Flagg French (1813–1885) of Concord, Massachusetts, a lawyer and Assistant US Treasury Secretary, in his 1859 book Farm Drainage. French's own drains were made of sections of ordinary roofing tile laid with a 1⁄8in (0.32cm) gap left in between the sections to admit water. Later, specialised drain tiles were designed with perforations. To prevent clogging, the gravel size varied from coarse at the center to fine at the outside and was designed based on the gradation of the soil surrounding the drain. The particle sizing was critical to keep the surrounding soil from washing into the voids in the gravel and clogging the drain. The development of geotextiles greatly simplified this procedure.

How to install a French drain.

When installing a French drain yourself, or hiring a contractor, its important to follow these two simple rules to achieve good water flow and infiltration.
Be sure to maintain proper slope of 1% throughout your landscape drainage system. Proper slope will allow the French drain to quickly drain and remove water from the area that needs to be drained.
Soil on site will help determine best French drain installation practices for your landscape drainage project. To ensure good water movement into the drainage system make sure to remove heavy clay soils and backfill the French drain with a more permeable backfill - such as filtered top soil, sand, or washed gravel.
We use NDS drainage products for all our storm water management systems.

French Drain, Exterior Foundation Waterproofing, How to Waterproof Basement Walls

EZ FlowDrainPipe is a great Pipe for footer tile. This is the pipe that runs along the BOTTOM of your foundation wall, at footer level!!! A good French Drain is Perforated Pipe Surrounded by gravel. It collects Subsurface water from low spots in the yard or under your crawlspace.
EZ Flow Drain Pipe. It is 4" perforated pipe surrounded by Styrofoam peanuts, and encased in geo-fabric.
It works the same way as gravel drain. Water floods up through the Styrofoam peanuts and into the pipe. Then a a solid pipe with gravity or a sump pump to lift the water to discharge.
EZ Flow is available from Lowes's or Home Depot . it comes in 10 foot sections. Its very light and easy for the Do It Yourselfer to install.
Which is better? They both do a good job. Only difference is cost.
Does your pool overflow with each rain? The problem is the overflow drain. Here is an easy fix to correct the problem
Pool overflows generally discharge just a few feet from the pool patio. Find the line and dig it up . Replace the gravel drain (dry well) and add a pop up emitter.
Interior Crawl Space Waterproofing is best done with a Sump Pump and Footer Tiles. The footer tiles collect the water just like a french drain and sends it to the sump pump. The pump lifts the water up and out through the foundation wall to send it away.
Depending on how much head room you have in your crawl space, this can be an easy job or can be very difficult. Regardless, footer tiles and pump are needed to remove water from the crawl space
Be sure to install them before you put down moisture barrier or encapsulate.
Solving a back yard flood, can be difficult. As ground water (the water table) rises and water has no place to go, the yard floods. Yards are flat and gravity drains might not remove the water.
Backyard Sump Pumps move more water! A good pump can easily keep up with above average rainfall.
Size of pumps range from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. The bigger the pump, the more water it will move.
The question is always the same. Can you beat Mother Nature? The answer is always NO. However by installing a sump system is the proper place, you will be able to give the water a place to go. No more standing water!

How to install a French drain.

When installing a French drain yourself, or hiring a contractor, its important to follow these two simple rules to achieve good water flow and infiltration.
Be sure to maintain proper slope of 1% throughout your landscape drainage system. Proper slope will allow the French drain to quickly drain and remove water from the area that needs to be drained.
Soil on site will help determine best French drain installation practices for your landscape drainage project. To ensure good water movement into the drainage system make sure to remove heavy clay soils and backfill the French drain with a more permeable backfill - such as filtered top soil, sand, or washed gravel.
We use NDS drainage products for all our storm water management systems.

Steps for How to Install a Basement Bathroom:
1. Lay out the 2x4 bottom wall plates to establish the perimeter of the bathroom walls.
2. Measure off the wall plates to locate the center of the shower drain and toilet flange.
3. Dig a trench extending from the existing drainpipe over to the new locations of the shower drain and toilet flange.
4. Use a right-angle grinder fitted with a diamond-impregnated cutting wheel to cut through the old cast-iron drainpipe.
5. Attach a flexible no-hub mechanical coupling onto the end of the just-cut drainpipe. Tighten hose clamp onto the cast-iron pipe with a torque wrench.
6. Cut and glue together 3-inch-diameter PVC pipes and fittings to form the drainpipe assembly that connects the old cast-iron pipe to the new shower and toilet drain.
7. Slip the end of the PVC drainpipe assembly into the mechanical coupling attached to the old cast-iron pipe. Tighten the hose clamp to secure the PVC pipe.
8. Next, run 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe from the drainpipe assembly over to the shower and vanity sink.
9. Install traps for each fixture, and be sure the pipes slope 1/8 inch per foot to drain properly.
10. Drive a 1/2-inch-diameter steel-reinforcing bar down into the soil beside each trap. Then, use duct tape to secure the bars to the traps.
11. Have the rough piping inspected before pouring the concrete floor.
12. Cover the open end of the toilet pipe with a foam cap. Wrap plastic around the shower-drain pipe.
13. Have the concrete contractor pour a new floor around the piping.

EZ FlowDrainPipe is a great Pipe for footer tile. This is the pipe that runs along the BOTTOM of your foundation wall, at footer level!!! A good French Drain is Perforated Pipe Surrounded by gravel. It collects Subsurface water from low spots in the yard or under your crawlspace.
EZ Flow Drain Pipe. It is 4" perforated pipe surrounded by Styrofoam peanuts, and encased in geo-fabric.
It works the same way as gravel drain. Water floods up through the Styrofoam peanuts and into the pipe. Then a a solid pipe with gravity or a sump pump to lift the water to discharge.
EZ Flow is available from Lowes's or Home Depot . it comes in 10 foot sections. Its very light and easy for the Do It Yourselfer to install.
Which is better? They both do a good job. Only difference is cost.
Does your pool overflow with each rain? The problem is the overflow drain. Here is an easy fix to correct the problem
Pool overflows generally discharge just a few feet from the pool patio. Find the line and dig it up . Replace the gravel drain (dry well) and add a pop up emitter.
Interior Crawl Space Waterproofing is best done with a Sump Pump and Footer Tiles. The footer tiles collect the water just like a french drain and sends it to the sump pump. The pump lifts the water up and out through the foundation wall to send it away.
Depending on how much head room you have in your crawl space, this can be an easy job or can be very difficult. Regardless, footer tiles and pump are needed to remove water from the crawl space
Be sure to install them before you put down moisture barrier or encapsulate.
Solving a back yard flood, can be difficult. As ground water (the water table) rises and water has no place to go, the yard floods. Yards are flat and gravity drains might not remove the water.
Backyard Sump Pumps move more water! A good pump can easily keep up with above average rainfall.
Size of pumps range from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. The bigger the pump, the more water it will move.
The question is always the same. Can you beat Mother Nature? The answer is always NO. However by installing a sump system is the proper place, you will be able to give the water a place to go. No more standing water!

How to install a Schluter Kerdi-Drain with Deck Mud

How to install a Schluter drain with Deck Mud
Schluter has a proprietary drain that is installed in conjunction with the waterproofing membrane. These drains can be installed with the shower floor trays when the shower is the appropriate size for the tray and the drain lines up with the position of the drain opening in the tray. Often times the trays can be made to fit the shower by cutting them to the correct size, however when this is done the perimeter of the shower floor will no longer be straight and level. To avoid this the tray can be installed with a bed of deck mud that can be shaped to any size and shape. In this video I demonstrate how to do this in a 36”x36” shower stall

Tile Shower Failure and repair. Part 1 through 5

ShowerFailure and repair. The tile in this shower stall in this brand new house was installed by a tile contractor that cut corners and had no really idea how to prep and install tile in a shower stall. It was done so badly that it was all torn out before it was ever used. I did not see it, but was told by the new homeowner that it was horrible; there are no pictures of it, the video starts where I came in to redo the whole thing. I was told that the cement board was up and ready for me to start. This what I found and what I did to rectify all the problems, starting with taking down the lower part of the Durock, repairing the holes in the copper pan and conducting a flood test to ensure that there were no leaks.

ShowerFailure and repair. The tile in this shower stall in this brand new house was installed by a tile contractor that cut corners and had no really idea how to prep and install tile in a shower stall. It was done so badly that it was all torn out before it was ever used. I did not see it, but was told by the new homeowner that it was horrible; there are no pictures of it, the video starts where I came in to redo the whole thing. I was told that the cement board was up and ready for me to start. This what I found and what I did to rectify all the problems, starting with taking down the lower part of the Durock, repairing the holes in the copper pan and conducting a flood test to ensure that there were no leaks. One of the key elements in a shower is waterproofing. The original shower that was torn out had none, and was a primary reason that it had to be redone. In this video I demonstrate how to waterproof a shower and explain how imperative it is when a copper pan is used. This shower floor featured a border of the same size tile as the field tile of the floor, but a different color to tie it in with the main bathroom floor, I also show how I cut some of the curves for the drain of the shower. Also shown the installation of the large format tile walls and floor of the shower using the MLT tile leveling system.
The MLT leveling System, or Mechanical Lippage Tuning, is a tile leveling system designed to have a minimum of waste, and have many options for the installation of all kinds of tiles from 12"x12" and larger. This system has four kinds of base plates used for different types of installations. The most versatile is the porcelain tile base plate, there are also base plates designed for stone tile, offset joints and thin tiles. To use the system a strap with a base plate is placed at every corner of the tile and then a cap is slid onto the strap and tightened with the tool that resembles a gun. If needed the top caps can be removed to make adjustments or clean grout joints. The tile is then allowed to set and then all the reusable components are removed with the help of the tension tool. Some cleaning of the components may be needed, but all of them are reusable. I have used many types of leveling systems, (visit my channel to watch the videos) and have found this one to be the most versatile, the system has been well designed and has many options available for practically any tile installation where a leveling system would be beneficial, there is virtually no waste, and its reusable parts are very durable. How to grout ceramic tile Mix your grout according to the direction of the grout you are using. Once the grout is ready, I find the best way to grout is to spread the grout with the rubber float while holding it at a very low angle to the floor and pushing the grout into the lines while applying a good amount of pressure. Once you have filled the lines go over the same area with the float at a very high angle in order to remove all the excess grout and leave the grout lines filled with the proper amount of grout. Let stand for a period of time, then with a grout sponge and a bucket of clean cold water, work the grout lines with the sponge. The sponge should have as little water as possible not dripping or soaked. At this point the goal is to shape the grout lines not clean the tile. Once this is accomplished, the next step is to clean the tile. Again with a damp sponge and clean water, place the sponge on the tile, with even pressure pull the sponge in one direction only, lift the sponge flip to the other side repeat, rinse and repeat until the grouted section is clean. Once the whole floor is grouted and cleaned in this fashion, wait until the floor dries to a haze, and rinse again in the same manner.

ShowerFailure and repair. The tile in this shower stall in this brand new house was installed by a tile contractor that cut corners and had no really idea how to prep and install tile in a shower stall. It was done so badly that it was all torn out before it was ever used. I did not see it, but was told by the new homeowner that it was horrible; there are no pictures of it, the video starts where I came in to redo the whole thing. I was told that the cement board was up and ready for me to start. This what I found and what I did to rectify all the problems, starting with taking down the lower part of the Durock, repairing the holes in the copper pan and conducting a flood test to ensure that there were no leaks. One of the key elements in a shower is waterproofing. The original shower that was torn out had none, and was a primary reason that it had to be redone. In this video I demonstrate how to waterproof a shower and explain how imperative it is when a copper pan is used. This shower floor featured a border of the same size tile as the field tile of the floor, but a different color to tie it in with the main bathroom floor, I also show how I cut some of the curves for the drain of the shower. Also shown the installation of the large format tile walls and floor of the shower using the MLT tile leveling system.
The MLT leveling System, or Mechanical Lippage Tuning, is a tile leveling system designed to have a minimum of waste, and have many options for the installation of all kinds of tiles from 12"x12" and larger. This system has four kinds of base plates used for different types of installations. The most versatile is the porcelain tile base plate, there are also base plates designed for stone tile, offset joints and thin tiles. To use the system a strap with a base plate is placed at every corner of the tile and then a cap is slid onto the strap and tightened with the tool that resembles a gun. If needed the top caps can be removed to make adjustments or clean grout joints. The tile is then allowed to set and then all the reusable components are removed with the help of the tension tool. Some cleaning of the components may be needed, but all of them are reusable. I have used many types of leveling systems, (visit my channel to watch the videos) and have found this one to be the most versatile, the system has been well designed and has many options available for practically any tile installation where a leveling system would be beneficial, there is virtually no waste, and its reusable parts are very durable. How to grout ceramic tile Mix your grout according to the direction of the grout you are using. Once the grout is ready, I find the best way to grout is to spread the grout with the rubber float while holding it at a very low angle to the floor and pushing the grout into the lines while applying a good amount of pressure. Once you have filled the lines go over the same area with the float at a very high angle in order to remove all the excess grout and leave the grout lines filled with the proper amount of grout. Let stand for a period of time, then with a grout sponge and a bucket of clean cold water, work the grout lines with the sponge. The sponge should have as little water as possible not dripping or soaked. At this point the goal is to shape the grout lines not clean the tile. Once this is accomplished, the next step is to clean the tile. Again with a damp sponge and clean water, place the sponge on the tile, with even pressure pull the sponge in one direction only, lift the sponge flip to the other side repeat, rinse and repeat until the grouted section is clean. Once the whole floor is grouted and cleaned in this fashion, wait until the floor dries to a haze, and rinse again in the same manner.

Now managed by Thames Water this is part of the West End's underground drainage network and is set deep under Soho Square W1.
This footage really highlights the engineering excellence of Joseph Bazalgette's 1860's project to clean up London with over 1100 miles of sewerage pipework, designed to route foul waste out of the capital's filthy streets and into outfalls along the river Thames. Later, into STWs.
This video portrays one of the 'Egg Shaped' pipe lines and is un-edited so as to show the sheer quality of Victorian workmanship and to highlight the amazing condition of a 150 year old brick built sewer.
At last there is now another video of a 'Sewer Rat' (see approx 9m-40s)

How to Install a Basement Bathroom

Watch the full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USypHVjs1xw
Richard Trethewey shows how to rough-in the drainpipes for a basement bathroom. (See below for steps.)
Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old HouseYouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse
Steps for How to Install a Basement Bathroom:
1. Lay out the 2x4 bottom wall plates to establish the perimeter of the bathroom walls.
2. Measure off the wall plates to locate the center of the shower drain and toilet flange.
3. Dig a trench extending from the existing drainpipe over to the new locations of the shower drain and toilet flange.
4. Use a right-angle grinder fitted with a diamond-impregnated cutting wheel to cut through the old cast-iron drainpipe.
5. Attach a flexible no-hub mechanical coupling onto the end of the just-cut drainpipe. Tighten hose clamp onto the cast-iron pipe with a torque wrench.
6. Cut and glue together 3-inch-diameter PVC pipes and fittings to form the drainpipe assembly that connects the old cast-iron pipe to the new shower and toilet drain.
7. Slip the end of the PVC drainpipe assembly into the mechanical coupling attached to the old cast-iron pipe. Tighten the hose clamp to secure the PVC pipe.
8. Next, run 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe from the drainpipe assembly over to the shower and vanity sink.
9. Install traps for each fixture, and be sure the pipes slope 1/8 inch per foot to drain properly.
10. Drive a 1/2-inch-diameter steel-reinforcing bar down into the soil beside each trap. Then, use duct tape to secure the bars to the traps.
11. Have the rough piping inspected before pouring the concrete floor.
12. Cover the open end of the toilet pipe with a foam cap. Wrap plastic around the shower-drain pipe.
13. Have the concrete contractor pour a new floor around the piping.

Pool Patio Drain Problems, Channel Drain

Channel drain around the pool serves to collect rain water and protect your home. When this small channel drain goes bad, it can sometimes be cleaned, but most of the time the problem is the DISCHARGE of the drain is bad or missing.
This is the most common problem in southern homes. From Florida to Texas, even up into the southern states.
Problems like pool liner bubbles or pulls away from wall, cracked concrete, or the most common problem is water finds its way into the back wall of the house and does damage to hardwood floors, causing them to warp or buckle, baseboard get wet, wet sheet rock, and wet walls, and in some cases, so much pressure builds under the floor it causes the floor itself to buckle.
The solution is proper discharge of the channel drain, whether it be gravity or by sump pump.

French drain

A French drain or weeping tile (also blind drain,rubble drain,rock drain,drain tile, perimeter drain, land drain, French ditch, sub-surface drain, sub-soil drain or agricultural drain) is a trench filled with gravel or rock or containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area. A French drain can have perforated hollow pipes along the bottom (see images) to quickly vent water that seeps down through the upper gravel or rock.

French drains are primarily used to prevent ground and surface water from penetrating or damaging building foundations. Alternatively, French drains may be used to distribute water, such as a septic drain field at the outlet of a typical septic tank sewage treatment system. French drains are also used behind retaining walls to relieve ground water pressure.

History and construction

The earliest forms of French drains were simple ditches, pitched from a high area to a lower one and filled with gravel. These may have been invented in France but were described and popularised by Henry Flagg French (1813–1885) of Concord, Massachusetts, a lawyer and Assistant US Treasury Secretary, in his 1859 book Farm Drainage. French's own drains were made of sections of ordinary roofing tile laid with a 1⁄8in (0.32cm) gap left in between the sections to admit water. Later, specialised drain tiles were designed with perforations. To prevent clogging, the gravel size varied from coarse at the center to fine at the outside and was designed based on the gradation of the soil surrounding the drain. The particle sizing was critical to keep the surrounding soil from washing into the voids in the gravel and clogging the drain. The development of geotextiles greatly simplified this procedure.

SHOWER DRAIN ON CONCRETE SLAB

The process of installing a drain from a tub to shower conversion, transition from 1 1/2'' to a 2'' drain is shown in a worse scenario than you'll probably encounter, because I had to bust up some concrete to make it happen...normally NOT the case.

How to install a Schluter Kerdi-Drain with Deck Mud

How to install a Schluter drain with Deck Mud
Schluter has a proprietary drain that is installed in conjunction with the waterproofing membrane. These drains can be installed with the shower floor trays when the shower is the appropriate size for the tray and the drain lines up with the position of the drain opening in the tray. Often times the trays can be made to fit the shower by cutting them to the correct size, however when this is done the perimeter of the shower floor will no longer be straight and level. To avoid this the tray can be installed with a bed of deck mud that can be shaped to any size and shape. In this video I demonstrate how to do this in a 36”x36” shower stall

Solving a back yard flood, can be difficult. As ground water (the water table) rises and water has no place to go, the yard floods. Yards are flat and gravity drains might not remove the water.
Backyard Sump Pumps move more water! A good pump can easily keep up with above average rainfall.
Size of pumps range from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. The bigger the pump, the more water it will move.
The question is always the same. Can you beat Mother Nature? The answer is always NO. However by installing a sump system is the proper place, you will be able to give the water a place to go. No more standing water!

Tile Shower Failure and repair. Part 1 through 5

ShowerFailure and repair. The tile in this shower stall in this brand new house was installed by a tile contractor that cut corners and had no really idea how to prep and install tile in a shower stall. It was done so badly that it was all torn out before it was ever used. I did not see it, but was told by the new homeowner that it was horrible; there are no pictures of it, the video starts where I came in to redo the whole thing. I was told that the cement board was up and ready for me to start. This what I found and what I did to rectify all the problems, starting with taking down the lower part of the Durock, repairing the holes in the copper pan and conducting a flood test to ensure that there were no leaks. One of the key elements in a shower is waterproofing. The original shower that was torn out had none, and was a primary reason that it had to be redone. In this video I demonstrate how to waterproof a shower and explain how imperative it is when a copper pan is used. This shower floor featured a border of the same size tile as the field tile of the floor, but a different color to tie it in with the main bathroom floor, I also show how I cut some of the curves for the drain of the shower. Also shown the installation of the large format tile walls and floor of the shower using the MLT tile leveling system.
The MLT leveling System, or Mechanical Lippage Tuning, is a tile leveling system designed to have a minimum of waste, and have many options for the installation of all kinds of tiles from 12"x12" and larger. This system has four kinds of base plates used for different types of installations. The most versatile is the porcelain tile base plate, there are also base plates designed for stone tile, offset joints and thin tiles. To use the system a strap with a base plate is placed at every corner of the tile and then a cap is slid onto the strap and tightened with the tool that resembles a gun. If needed the top caps can be removed to make adjustments or clean grout joints. The tile is then allowed to set and then all the reusable components are removed with the help of the tension tool. Some cleaning of the components may be needed, but all of them are reusable. I have used many types of leveling systems, (visit my channel to watch the videos) and have found this one to be the most versatile, the system has been well designed and has many options available for practically any tile installation where a leveling system would be beneficial, there is virtually no waste, and its reusable parts are very durable. How to grout ceramic tile Mix your grout according to the direction of the grout you are using. Once the grout is ready, I find the best way to grout is to spread the grout with the rubber float while holding it at a very low angle to the floor and pushing the grout into the lines while applying a good amount of pressure. Once you have filled the lines go over the same area with the float at a very high angle in order to remove all the excess grout and leave the grout lines filled with the proper amount of grout. Let stand for a period of time, then with a grout sponge and a bucket of clean cold water, work the grout lines with the sponge. The sponge should have as little water as possible not dripping or soaked. At this point the goal is to shape the grout lines not clean the tile. Once this is accomplished, the next step is to clean the tile. Again with a damp sponge and clean water, place the sponge on the tile, with even pressure pull the sponge in one direction only, lift the sponge flip to the other side repeat, rinse and repeat until the grouted section is clean. Once the whole floor is grouted and cleaned in this fashion, wait until the floor dries to a haze, and rinse again in the same manner.
